SURPRISING

To many why we sell
so many clothing, but
why shouldn't we. at
the prices for which we
sell our First Grade OF
Clothing? We often
have people to tell US
they never had such
satisfaction in wearing
clothing. The fit is
easy, goods wear well
and look well all the
time. You know we
make many Suits and
Overcoats, and take
particular pains in cut
ting, trimming and max.
ing. Some people think
there is nothing in the
get.up of clothing.
The difference is, some
are got up to sell, ours
to wear.
What makes our sue
cess 10 Merchant Tailor
ing is the kind of goods
we keep and the prit e
for which we make
them up. You never
saw a better selection
of fine goods than we
carry, or never will find
anybody more anxious
to accommodate and
try to please than we
are. We like to show
our goods and have
people know our prices,
